When the guy reverts your changes, is there some kind of comment/history type
thing to indicate why he's doing so?

Hopefully it's something simple like them just wanting references added to
support the change, and not something sinister like a competing project/org
trying to undermine things.

If the Viam Ferream person continues to be unreasonable, and there's no way
to communicate with them, it'll probably need taking up through the Wikipedia
Mediation process. That seems to be documented here:

Does that help? :)
